Item 1.01                                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Closing of Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On May 8, 2009, Power-One, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April 23, 2009 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and Silver Lake Technology Investors Sumeru, L.P. (collectively, “Silver Lake Sumeru”).  The Securities Purchase Agreement is described under Item 1.01 of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on April 28, 2009 and a copy of the definitive Securities Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 thereto.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $60 million, the Company (i) sold to Silver Lake Sumeru 23,625 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), (ii) issued to Silver Lake Sumeru warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for the purchase of 8,700,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (iii) sold to Silver Lake Sumeru $36,375,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.0%/8.0%/10.0% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “Notes”).  Approximately 17,500,000 shares of Common Stock are initially issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock based on the initial conversion price of $1.35 per share.  The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are described below under Item 5.03; such description is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01. The Warrants are initially exercisable for an aggregate of 8,700,000 shares of Common Stock based on the initial exercise price of $1.33 per share; however, exercise of the Warrants is prohibited if, following exercise, the holder of the Warrant, along with its affiliates, would exceed the Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  The Warrants provide for customary anti-dilution adjustments, including for stock splits, dividends, distributions, rights issuances and certain tender offers or exchange offers.  The Warrants expire on May 8, 2016.  The foregoing description of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrants attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Indenture

 

On May 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, relating to the issuance by the Company of $36,375,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes.  The Notes were sold in a private placement transaction, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were not and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture.  The Notes bear an interest rate of 6.0% per annum which shall accrue from the issuance date (the “Issue Date”) to the first anniversary of the Issue Date; 8.0% per annum which shall accrue from the first anniversary of the Issue Date to the second anniversary of the Issue Date; and 10.0% per annum which shall accrue from the second anniversary of the Issue Date to the maturity date, payable semi-annually on May 8 and November 8 of each year, beginning on November 8, 2009.  The Notes mature on May 8, 2019 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time at a conversion price of $1.35; however, conversion of the Notes is prohibited if, following conversion, the

holder, along with its affiliates, exceed the Ownership Limitation.  The Indenture provides for customary anti-dilution adjustments, including for stock splits, dividends, distributions, rights issuances and certain tender offers or exchange offers.

 

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Silver Lake Sumeru entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 8, 2009 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  Under the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company proposes to register any equity securities, it will use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of all registrable securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.  In addition, the Company has agreed to file a shelf registration statement upon demand by holders holding at least 35% of the registrable securities.

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Supplemental Indenture

 

On May 8, 2009, after obtaining consent from two holders of the Company’s 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2013 (the “8% Notes”) who collectively hold in excess of a majority of the 8% Notes (collectively, the “Majority Holders”), the Company entered into the Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”).  The Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture dated June 17, 2008 between the Company and the Trustee (the “8% Notes Indenture”) to modify certain covenants in the 8% Notes Indenture governing the 8% Notes, including to reduce the minimum cash requirement to the lower of $20 million or 50% of outstanding 8% Notes, to remove the minimum tangible net worth covenant and loosen other restrictions that limit the total and secured debt the Company may incur.  In addition, the Supplemental Indenture removes the right of the holders of the 8% Notes to participate in future equity issuances by the Company and permits the Company to dispose of certain assets that constituted a part of the collateral securing the 8% Notes, so long as the Company either reinvests the net proceeds from such disposition in the Company or makes an offer to repurchase, on pro rata basis, the outstanding 8% Notes up to the amount of the net proceeds not reinvested into the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 4.4 and incorporated herein by reference

 

Amendment to Pledge Agreement

 

In connection with the Supplemental Indenture, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of May 8, 2009 (the “Pledge Amendment”) among the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto (the “Pledgors”) in favor of

 

3



 

The Bank Of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the “Collateral Agent”), amending the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of June 17, 2008 (the “Pledge Agreement”) among the Company, the Pledgors and the Collateral Agent.  The Pledge Amendment amends the Pledge Agreement to permit, among other things, the pledging of additional security interests against the collateral securing the 8% Notes and to also allow certain dispositions by the Company of the collateral, in each case, consistent with the terms of the 8% Notes Indenture as modified by the Supplemental Indenture.

 

The foregoing description of the Pledge Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Pledge Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Descriptions of the agreements and instruments referenced in this Item 1.01 are not complete and investors should review the exhibits referred to and incorporated herein for a more complete understanding of those documents.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

As disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K, on May 8, 2009, the Company issued $36,375,000 principal amount of Notes.   Additional terms and conditions described in Item 1.01 are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

Item 3.02                                             Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 and Item 5.03 of this Form 8-K with respect to the Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.  In connection with the sale of the securities the Company relied upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder based on representations to the Company made by each purchaser of such securities that it is an accredited investor.

 

Item 5.02                                             Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

Effective May 8, 2009, in connection with the closing, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) increased its size from seven to nine members.  In addition, effective as of the closing, the Board appointed Ajay Shah and Kyle Ryland to serve as directors of the Company.  Messrs. Shah and Ryland will serve as Preferred Directors (as defined in the Series A Certificate (as defined below)).  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate, the Preferred Directors will serve until the next special or annual meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing Preferred Directors at which such Preferred Director is up for election or at any special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, for the purpose of removing the Preferred Directors, or until his or her successor is duly elected.
